I think they mean they got the login rights the rest of us got.

Oh, d'oh, sorry. Thanks.

Was this your response after filling out the questionnaire?
If so, what options did you use, because that certainly is different to what I got

[Sylvia]

carmenmiranda, I don't recall receiving an email after enrollment but did receive the same as the others to take the exam.

I also noticed on the http://sri-uk.org/enrol.html page it says:

[carmenmiranda]

I changed my answers yesterday to match Eva's, to see if that made a difference. I've changed them back to what they were originally now. They're mostly about how trusting I am and how nobody would miss me if I was gone.

Sorry about not posting the email earlier--bad assumptions on my part.

I'm going to set up two hotmail accounts, and use my original answers on one, and Eva's answers on another, and see if I get different responses. I'll post the results here.

The experiment thing seemed a bit weird to me as well.

Hmm.

I think it might be a time thing. I registered fairly late in the game, and got the message above. Today, I've registered with two new email addresses--on one, I gave all shy and sociophobe answers, and with the other all extrovert answers.

I got the Experiment email for both.

I think they may have just changed the response they're sending out.

Well, just to stick my two pence worth in...

I also gave the answer "Teddy Bear" to the inkblot test on the application. My response was also:

 Not even close to the solve

Solve?

Chramey - I understand your objection. All I can say is - "It just felt so right" I take full responsibility for it being more of an intuitive wild stab in the dark than the clear demonstration of a logical rule.

But that's kinda what crosswords are like I reckon.

Why enrol? that's what sri want.

Now I look at it again I kinda see more (tenuous) stuff marking 6 + 8 as different from the other clues.

The clue for each is immediately followed by one of the nonsense clues.
The answers for both are names (I know another answer is also a name)

The clues themselves hint heavily at lies, contradictions, fuzzy logic and -most tantalisingly-

[carmenmiranda]

I really feel like we're missing something here entirely. The clues were straightforward.

Most of them are about opposites and contradictions, so I've tried sending "Exit" to the exam. I don't think that's it, but figured it's worth a shot.

I think it's more likely that the asterisks on certain clues mean something. There are the same number of asterisks as there are letters in the cypher.

I tried following the asterisks and taking the first letter of the answer if the asterisk was at the beginning of the question, and the last letter of the answer if it was at the end, and then doing a Vignere on ENRTE using that as the key, but that didn't yield anything useful. But I do feel that those asterisks are there for a reason, and whatever that reason is, I'm clearly not getting it.
